Because the Nazi skinheads did a great job of co-opting the punk title for most people who weren't actually interested in punk. The news media were very complicit in pushing that specific image to undermine the punk movement to the general public.

Oh, look. The party of Nazi apologists is passing laws to make their own Gestapo. But everyone comparing them to Nazis are the real problem.

Shouldn't these clowns be charged with obstruction of justice?

My friend in grammar school had a Leap Day birthday and his parents' solution was that his birthday was celebrated "the day after February 28th".

So my child, who is not old enough for their own account, will now no longer be able to watch Disney+ while attending school at their residential academy 400 miles away. Just like Netflix. And just like Netflix, my subscription will be canceled the moment they try to block them from logging in.

Fo beltalowda!

Breaking news: "Nazi apologists create Gestapo." Who could have seen that coming?

I bought a USB-to-aux adapter because my current phone does not have a headphone jack and my vehicle doesn't have Bluetooth. I use it literally every day, sometimes for hours. It's utter nonsense that they are getting rid of them.

I'd love to know what this would actually do.

Edit: Thanks for the responses and lively discussion!!

When Trump promotes this imagery, it is explicitly to incite somebody in his Cadre of cultish followers to act on it. All it takes is just one to act on it. It's textbook stochastic terrorism.

It took me using my friend's bidet just once to convert. I ordered one that night, from BidetKing. Now I really hate using the toilet in public.

Yer gonna need a much longer pole...

The mind-bending thing about it is thus: there are an infinite multitude of "you" throughout the multiverse expressing every "you" that could, or even could not, be. However, there are infinitely more realities with no "you" at all. The set of infinities containing an expression of "you" is necessarily smaller than the set of infinities that do not contain an expression of "you" simply owing to the very narrow nature of eventualities required to express "you" into existence. In point of fact, that set if infinitesimal labeled "you" is infinitesimal in comparison to the set labeled "not you", and yet still uncountable in its infinity.

We're going to the hardware store!

There are so many levels of wrong to this that it's hard to take it all in.

So the mom admits that she thinks they're all pedos, but keeps posting anyway? There are a few different levels of depravity to that one element.

It's not a popular take, but it seems pretty well established that pedophilia is a compulsive mental disorder. Nothing about that absolves them of their actions, but it gives us a base-line that they are all collectively sick in the literal sense.

"Mom", if one could deign to label her such, is admitting that she is slinging images of her underage child to what amount to compulsive addicts. She's exploiting her daughter's innocence for profit, while feeding into the self-destructive compulsion of others, while simultaneously judging her customers with disgust and contempt.

She's so much worse than a drug dealer. This is the worst kind of abuse and exploitation, and really makes you wonder just how much worse it really is behind closed doors for those "extras"?

The entire situation is just a circle-jerk of depravity.

It could definitely remove one of the most notorious and dangerous places kids get bullied.

Just because you want to be a peeping Tom and watch folks in the bathroom doesn't mean everyone else does.

I think you have this flipped, though. It's more like we hear ourselves all the time, but we don't sound at all to ourselves the way we actually sound. We don't have a sort of internal picture of ourselves to create dissonance with our reflection or photographs in the same way we do with our voices. It's that dissonance that makes us distrust or dislike hearing ourselves as we actually sound because that isn't the voice we identify with internally.

I've said this 1,000 times, and I'll repeat it as often as I need to.

The Left is arguing Human Rights. The Right is arguing Property Rights. Conservative values are very clear that women are not seen as independent individuals, but as property of their fathers and then their husbands. Women are chattel. This mentality permeates and pervades every aspect of Conservative ideology where women are concerned. Men must protect women. Not because it benefits the woman, though they will tell women that they should be grateful for the protection. Men must protect their property, they must protect their investment in that woman. It's important to understand that Conservatives view all non-white, non-male, queer, and non-Conservatives as inherently inferior, requiring their guidance and control to conform to their superior ideology, or extermination if they refuse.

View everything they say and do through that lens, and everything makes perfect sense.

As an autist, I find this assertion nonsensical and offensively reductive.

Ah, yes, everyone's favorite Dorito flavor, Dick Kicker.

The right is funding him in an effort to split the vote on the left in an effort to boost Trump. They're especially desperate to split the Democrat and Independent votes since it's become very obvious that RFK Jr has been fragmenting the voter base on the right. The libertarian votes that Trump just assumed would be his have a very good chance of going to Master Brain Worm.

The solution: no human contact.

I saw that that happened off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, but this is saying Great Britain? That's a Humpback, and I've seen them off the coast of NH

Flames a getting hottah!

That's got a great ring to it!

That's true everywhere. The issue isn't what they are, the issue is how they were deliberately misrepresented. A whole lot of films and shows made it a point to conflate punks with white supremacists.

Practice made perfect! You look fabulous.

Wait, what? I missed that one.

"Rarity of coming into contact with"?

Do you not know that Clostridium Tetani is present in nearly every sample of soil from every region of the globe? Present in the feces of most mammals? It's literally one of the most widespread bacteria on earth. You only think it's rare because of how effective vaccination has been.

"Whatevers" in GenX.

Not the first one in the past few days, either.

60% of ByteDance is owned by global investors, most of which are based in the US. 20% is owned by the original co-founders, none of whom have any ties to the CCP, and the remaining 20% is owned by employees, almost all of which are in California. The overwhelming majority of the company is already owned by Americans. This entire thing is all about trying to silence a source of information that challenges and refutes government interests, particularly where Palestine is concerned.

In the trending political climate, maybe this is more appropriate:

1. Do "gay".
2. Be crime.

Oh, look, it's the Cancerous Parasites Assaulting Civilization.

How common was this? That was precisely how I discovered porn. Found a Hustler magazine on a trail I used as a shortcut between housing developments on my paper route when I was 11. Then found a whole stash of them in another part of the woods near a tree fort I built with some friends.

Absolutely. Every other interface was trash.

And the official app and web interface were a port-a-potty upturned into a flaming dumpster.

Learn to redefine "clean". You're not living in a museum. Things don't need to be pristine and dust free.

I picked a day of the week, in my case Saturday, and chose one area of the house to concentrate on. Dishes, laundry, and any other "infinite work" chores can become overwhelming quickly if they're not kept up on, so there are frequently days where that's the only house work that gets done.

The unpopular truth here is that if you value cleanliness enough for this to bother you, you probably should have considered this well before your third kid. Just do yourself a favor and never, ever resent your kids for their messes. I hope you find a way that works for you and maximizes your relationships with your children!

This conclusion has nothing to do with the internet. It comes from having to live with these people. It comes from having their vitriol literally screamed in my face. The internet is somehow more sane than the reality I have to live in most days.

This is beyond depressing. I would love to think that explicitly queer spaces would be as inclusive to transfems as anyone else, but it's clear that that's not the case.
